Back in the day, most people did not want the color combos and they were a price premium with the leather. Most people did the black leatherette or Leather sport seats and played it safe. I think the interior were very cool. I really like the MINI Sidewalk interior from the Convertible. In malt brown version of course.

I bought a monthly pass at the local carwash today. I'm so glad I found a British Racing Green MINI.

Good looking MINI. I'm quite partial to the "holies" wheel style. If 17" were available they might've been a choice for me. Your car has a nice, clean classic look.

They remind me of the wheels I used to see on some Porsche 928s & 944s. I love the Fuchs wheels too, especially on 911s, but the holies were great!

Water pump is possibly the culprit, they seem to be a thing with MINIs.

My newly redone 05 MCS, it's repainted with flat/none met British Racing Green and Old English White. I am far happier with the new paint then the old Metallic, been wanting to change it over since I bought it 6 years ago.
